The predominant intermolecular forces present in ethyl acetate, a liquid, are:
A
Hydrogen bonding and London dispersion
B
Dipole-dipole and hydrogen bonding
C
London dispersion, dipole-dipole and hydrogen bonding
D
London dispersion and dipole-dipole
Correct option is D. London dispersion and dipole-dipole
The predominant intermolecular forces present in ethyl acetate liquid is London dispersion and dipole-dipole interaction. Ethyl acetate is a polar molecule, therefore, dipole-dipole interaction will be present there.
Hence, option D is correct.
